For the 26th year, people from all over the region will flock to Brooklet for a day of entertainment, contests, festival attractions and peanuts — boiled, roasted and even fried — as the annual Brooklet Peanut Festival unfolds. Starting the day with a foot race, the event includes a parade, a slow tractor race, kids' attractions and musical entertainment of all kinds, said Randy Newman, chairman of the Brooklet Community Development Authority. The event is a fundraiser for the BCDA, with proceeds used for beautification projects and two annual scholarships, he said.
